Well according to this poll. Using a not wholly scientific straight line distribution between options.
The average of contractors is now 40 years old!!!!
Godamn it! I'm average!

Hope you told them where to go.Originally posted by castoff101 View Post
I have colleagues contracting well into their 50's and the gigs are still there for them, despite outsourcing.
I remember being around 22 talking to a female colleague who was 31.She was worried about her career options as she thought time was running out. Some people have such mentality. I'm now older than she was then and think the best is yet to come.....if I can keep the occassional fear of boredom at bay

I spent one contract a few years back being a good 15-20 years younger than everybody else.
It was like Last of the Summer Wine.
Now I am the grumpy old git.Comment

Mid thirties for me.
Oldest contractor on site is 68. It's not a huge risk though as his backup is only 66.

27 years!!
Started contracting in 83, began by moving half a dozen VAX3's across the office, think they were linked to an Argus 400, that was the first intro to IT. not done very much since, its been stop,go,stop,go, and here we are now, again in a slowdown, still optimistic, well you can't give in can you?
